If Democrat's held the Oval Office and the Senate at this moment in time and a conservative Supreme Court Justice passed away, what would Democrats do?

What Would Democrats Do? ***Poll***

You don't seem to grasp what a meltdown is. I'm laughing at your side's predicament this morning. I can assure you that is not what constitutes a meltdown.
Acting outraged over your current helpless losing position regarding the supremes, calling someone names because you can't win the debate at hand and acting like a little girl over DMs.......now that is a meltdown.
PS: Be a man and cast your vote in the above poll. Your failure to vote is an admission that I own you on this topic.
How do you feel about the complete hypocrisy of your political party?
I can't help but notice that you've not been man enough to vote in the above poll. You want to talk about hypocrisy? LOL. You know exactly what the democrats would do if the roles were reversed. Every argument you make against the republicans doing exactly what democrats would do simply exposes your own pettiness, lack of intellectual integrity and hypocrisy.
I'm going to put on ignore the next poster who replies to this guy.
It's one thing to be an idiot. That can't be helped. It's a whole next level to know someone is an idiot and argue with them.
If you had me on ignore you wouldn't even know this thread existed ya dumbass.
You also seem to think your threat is of value to the other members here. LOL!!! Get over yourself.

I agree that democrats would do the same. The rules are the rules and I’m not arguing about that. I also personally believe that SCJs matter less than they are hyped up to be as it pertains to legislation that affects the lives of most people on a daily basis, at least when compared to congress.
However, the crucial difference is that Democrats never made a political show about NOT approving a Supreme Court justice because of an upcoming election. That is the hypocrisy that you are conveniently ignoring.

The dems and Obama blew it when they went along with the ‘after the election’ thing. Obama should have gotten his judge in there. They went along out of hubris and arrogance because they just assumed Hillary would get elected but that’s beside the point.
Waiting was wrong then and it’s wrong now.
Elections have consequences and Trump is president until at least 1/20/21.
PS: there was a small but important (arguably) detail that differentiates then and now. Obama wasn’t running.
Side note...presidential transitions should be much shorter. I say 2 weeks after the election is decided you lose you’re out!
No, of course not. But again, the dems didn’t make a political show about not appointing someone because of an upcoming election and reverse course 4 years later when it suited their needs. Would they not do it themselves? Also no, but we aren’t dealing in hypotheticals here.
That said, I do agree with Duffy that the Dems had the hubris of what they thought would’ve been a win. Obama should’ve found a more centrist judge that would’ve been palatable enough for enough republican senators to make the switch.
You confuse what an easy target you are with being obsessed.
By the way, I see you couldn't answer the poll honestly.
